Brenda Burke passed away suddenly after a brief illness with her family by her side at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Tuesday 22,2020.

Brenda came to Canada from Georgetown, Guyana, in 1975. Shortly after arriving, she began working for Fines Foods in the accounts department. Twenty years later she took a job with First Air in their accounts department.
Brenda was very involved in the Guyana/Ottawa Association and enjoyed socializing with her fellow Caribbean expatriates, but she always made time for God, attending Knox Presbyterian Church on Lisgar Street, Ottawa.
